Edmonton Oil Kings/Junior Hockey thread

[joestevens29]

2 legit calls on the TBirds and the hockey illiterate crowd yells "Refs, you suck". Watch the Oilers if you really want to see sucky refs.

This has been the case in every NHL playoff game I watch. The "Refs you suck" is just as common as "let's go insert team"

 

[NeverForget06]

Headed to the game tonight, should be a good one. I expect the Thunderbirds will come out strong and try to extend the series

 

[PBandJ]

Got tickets for tomorrow night, hopefully the boys regroup and finish it.

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

I don't mean to be off topic but I was just a bit curious. Who are the top 2 or 3 teams who should be contending for the WHL championship next year. I assume Winnipeg is one. Any others?

Physical game out there

 

[Antiillafire]

Seattle has a lot of big guys who make a lot of bone headed plays, sometimes works but usually does not. Oil Kings bigger guys are much better decision makers both during the flow of the game and after the whistle.

 

[PBandJ]

This one is getting chippy.

That should have been 5 on Rempe. Dude saw nothing but numbers and still followed through.

 

[PBandJ]

That's a brutal call on Neighbours.

 

[snipes]

Oil Kings look good. I only caught a bit of the OHL finals game before this one and then obviously the Shawinigan games with Bourgault. Saw a bit of other OHL playoff games as well.

The WHL finals as usual is far and away the most physical of the major junior leagues. This game has some real bite to it, some good Western Canadian style hockey. Loving the nastiness.

 

[Antiillafire]

So who gets MVP if Oil Kings close out tonight? Cossa, Neighbours, Guhle and Demek are my top 4 that I think it could be.

 

[PBandJ]

Boom! Getting that second goal was massive.

 

[Supermassive]

Absolute garbage call as the OK was pushed into the TB d-man from behind. Game management.

Yeah the officiating tonight has been pretty suspect.

 

[Supermassive]

Ugh. We were starting to lose the possession game and bang, a puck over glass penalty.

 

[PBandJ]

Who is the clown doing faceoffs? He's had four or five bad drops now

 

[iCanada]

The EOK really been solid tonight.

This series is the ultimate pure bread vs the ultimate junk yard dog, and it appears like that pure bread is fighting just as hard as the junkyard dog.

 

[PBandJ]

20 more hard minutes. Come on boys!

 

[Supermassive]

I hope you're right, they look like they're starting to lose the possession battle. Seattle can strike quick, we need another goal.

 

[Supermassive]

Too bad they don't show replays often, I'd like to see that too many men call.

 

[PBandJ]

Getting too loose now.

 

[Supermassive]

We're standing still too often here, turning over the puck and getting caught flat-footed. Have to skate it a bit.

 

[Supermassive]

Could you imagine the confidence the Oilers would have in front of a developed Cossa? He really doesn't have a weakness.

Can't keep taking dumb penalties. Must be the nerves.

Seriously. The Wings have got a stud coming up.

 

[Supermassive]

And now Seattle takes the same closing hand on puck penalty. lol.

 

[Supermassive]

Cossa gets full marks for MVP. Fantastic playoffs.

But Kuhle gets it - congrats to him!
